EastEnders has confirmed when Nish Panesar will return to Walford.
Nish has been off screen since February, when he was forced out of the Square in shame after everyone finally saw his true colours.
As we previously revealed, that was never going to be the end of the road for Nish. He will shock his family by making an unwelcome comeback later this month.
Nish’s return, which will air on Monday, May 27, will spark the next big chapter of his story, as he’s back with a bombshell that will turn the Panesars’ lives upside down.
New teaser spoilers have suggested that Ravi will be particularly impacted by his dad’s reappearance and he’ll be left with a lot to think about as a result.
Speaking previously about Nish’s future on the show, Nish actor Navin Chowdhry told The Sun: “We’ve been speaking with the execs and the writers about the journey over the next six months.
“Genuinely we are on the same page and it sounds really exciting,” he continued. “We all have our chats about what’s going on and when I had my chat about what’s going to be happening with Nish, it’s really what I wanted to hear.
“It’s exciting the journey ahead, but we still have to film it, so let’s see what happens.”
Elsewhere on the Square, George’s story will be continuing as tensions rise between the family, and there’s a new story on the horizon for Harvey when he befriends a stranger.
